Info I'd been watching this little miniature landscape with a small "waterfall" and all for some days. The sun is very low this time of year and between 2-3 pm the sunlight hits the water and the whole thing explodes with color and the structures come alive. There is no saturation or any color post fix made. The photo is made from five exposures with the most appropriate ones for each part in the pic selected. (Additional info: Believe it or not, but this is a very scary photo. Normally in late January, we are knee-deep in snow and ice in this part of Sweden and we are longing to see things like this sometime in spring (March-April) This year however, winter and spring have alternated on a weekly basis. In all my life I've never experienced anything like it and neither has anyone else I know. When this photo was taken, it was a balmy 6 °C (43 °F) instead of the normal freezing temperatures. I find this very worrying.) All by me, -- cart-Talk 22:59, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

Oppose Unfortunately, the falling water is not realistic from combining the different shots. Charles (talk) 10:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Charles, in what way is it not realistic? The different exposures were to reduce the highlights on the reeds and turn up the shadowy parts of the cliff to the left, the central bit with the water is untouched. Please compare with the this one-shot photo where the falling water is the same. --cart-Talk 10:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- I've highlighted an area which I guess has been stitched/cloned and some water drops are not falling vertically. It's no big deal and could be fixed I'm sure and of course I would cancel oppose. 11:44, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- I'm simply puzzled by this and I have to check the originals when I get home tonight. It was a bit of a challenge to correct the tilt of the photo since the different "lines" of water were not all falling straight down. Some had a different angle since they "followed" angle if the grass they were dripping from. --cart-Talk 12:17, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Charles, I realized that I still has the photos in my camera so I could check them here. I've uploaded the two original photos I used for the cliff with the water and the for the pool. It seems like Mother Nature is playing a little trick on us since the water is indeed falling in all directions, just like in the resulting photo. If you still want me to remove that part, I'll do so of course. --cart-Talk 13:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Very good Valued image, but the information, that spring has come to Sweden very early this year in not enough for FP nomination.--Karelj (talk) 10:18, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Ahum... that is not why I nominated it, that was only additional info. The nom is for this little miniature landscape with great colors, I've clarified it now. --cart-Talk 10:27, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Well, I expected this. So now you do nominate this image as Valued image and everything will be OK. --Karelj (talk) 12:59, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oh you misunderstood, I'm not objecting to your oppose, that is perfectly fine. :) I just wanted to clarify the nom. Colin proposed that the nominator should explain a bit about their nom and I simply wrote too much. Thanks for the VI suggestion but I'm not that used to that section and I wouldn't know which scope to place this in. --cart-Talk 13:12, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
Comment - I understand why you nominated this picture: As you say, you find it a miniature landscape by itself. However, I really prefer the composition of File:Drainage water from a forested area dripping into a ditch 1.jpg, with the diagonal and the bit of sky that puts everything into context and gives my eyes some relief. Perhaps the brightest highlights in that photo are blown; I'm not sure. But otherwise, I find that a good, interesting, featurable photo, maybe with just slightly toned-down highlights. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Highlight are toned down on that photo. Let's see if others share your thoughts on this. Thanks anyway.--cart-Talk 13:29, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose I find that the water dripping itself is not very well visible, and this is kind of the main purpose and action in your photo. Also as mentioned above, the ghosted water splashes are another detriment for me . The overall image is lacking contrast and separation between objects (like shooting straight on a grassy slope), while the lighting is good. Sorry, not FP level IMO. – Lucas T 13:57, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination Ok, I get it, no need to drag this out. Thanks for your attention and your comments. :) --cart-Talk 14:05, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
